>Well I am 28 yrs old, and I am also experiencing hot flashes, at least that is what I think it is. I had blood test done, but everything came out negative, no one can tell me what's going on with me. I am going to see an internal medicine doctor, and maybe he can help me, but until then I will have to deal with this awful feeling that I get. I really hate getting that way and it drives me crazy. By the time I go home after work I am so sweaty and I night I wake up drenched in sweat. What is happening to me?
